American beach volleyball king Randy Stoklos on playing in the 80s Sideout and Topgun eras

American Randy Stoklos, 55, who was the first player to earn US$1 million in prize money plus scooped five Olympic Gold medals with partner Sinjin Smith, dropped by to support Manly Volleyfest.

Josh Court joined Vollyeroos to go retro ahead of Sunday’s action

He joined players from the Vollyeroos to promote Sideout Sunday, which sees crowds encouraged to don their best 1980s and 90s sports gear to watch Sunday’s action.

In addition to winning five Olympic gold medals, Stoklos also starred in 1990 volleyball flick Sideout and the basketball scene from Top Gun. Little surprise then, he has also been an inspiration for Volleyfest organisers.
